The Light Show 

Such a great venue and beautiful oasis in the middle of Hackney Wick. Rhi is super lovely but certainly pushes you when the class begins! I have been attending for... read more one month now and definitely feeling and seeing results. The classes are engaging and challenging but inclusive of all levels. Such a great find and now a firm part of the weekly fitness routine. The space is also super clean with lockers and lovely changing rooms, plus some really beautiful creative design touches - inside and outside. Looking forward to the next class!

This gym changed my life. It's an inclusive and welcoming environment with great classes and people. The fitness instructors are kind and the gym owners are supportive and help you... read more reach your fitness goals. I really enjoyed the battle ropes classes and kettlebell cardio

Amazing gym, I couldn’t recommend it more! Strong and Bendy has a joyful, body positive, truly inclusive culture and I’ve never felt so welcomed in an exercise space. If you’re... read more someone who’s felt intimidated or alienated by conventional gyms, I really recommend Strong + Bendy. Rhian and all the instructors do a beautiful job of making you feel at home. In my 2 years of coming here regularly I’ve heard zero mention of calories, “earning” food or trying to change your appearance. I’ve just experienced brilliant, fun classes, a focus on the joy of moving our bodies, and lots of support to help me find what works for me. I really appreciate things like the information about what to expect at your first class (so helpful as a multiply neurodivergent person), or the weight limit on the exercise bikes (as a fat person this can be anxiety-provoking!). Small, thoughtful touches like this have helped me feel at home from day one. It’s so telling that at a lot of gyms you see before and at their photos of clients who’ve completely changed their bodies, but at Strong + Bendy there are beautiful murals of the people who go there on the walls. The message is: you’re great just as you are! Lastly, I must thank studio dog Gary for his service to the community: Gaz you’re the best.
